Cephalexin is in a group of drugs called cephalosporin antibiotics and is used to fight bacteria in the body. It works by interfering with the bacteria's cell wall formation, causing it to rupture, and killing the bacteria

The term "drugs" is an umbrella term for many chemicals (man-made or natural) that effect the body. Pain-killers, anti-biotics, anti-psychotics, anti-depressants, stimulants, depressants, etc, are all considered drugs.

"There are among the people murderers who have never committed murder, thieves who have never stolen and liars who have spoken nothing but the truth."

This is a fascinating experiment though, I thought it was fascinating when it was posted on VC. Really admire the guy for risking his health for art and understanding, though a bit worried about the kind of irrepairable damage this project is doing to his brain.

"We all are to some extent [agnostic]... So yes, I'm an 'agnostic', in as much as I don't actually know what happens when I die. I choose to operate under the assumption that God does not exist. I have no need for God in my life, the concept of a 'God' feels incredibly made up to me. It is not requisite for my every day living. For some people it is. They are 'theistic agnostics,' I am an 'atheistic agnostic.'" - Cara Santa Maria

Yeah...this is a pretty cool experiment. It could easily be passed off as a creative excuse to use drugs though (instead of using drugs for a creative use). He said he suffered mild brain damage from using a different drug every day which isnt cool. Id say in that respect, it probably wasnt really worth it. Im not really an advocate for using drugs, but Im not really against it either. I think when somebody uses them for creative purposes, thats at least the best way to use them.
